We had not had the pleasure of meeting Bob as we're neighbors of Jeff's here in Saint Charles but we do understand what a great loss this is for the family as Jeff has always spoken of Bob with great respect and appreciation. Please accept our heartfelt condolences-Warmest Regards

Bob was a amazing friend and classmate. He served his country, in a way that we all admired. He had so many deserving qualities, that it would not be possible to list them all. We thank him and Marilyn for all of the hard work, that they did for reunions. He will be missed by so many people. His family and friends that loves him so much. He will never be forgotten. Love and Prayers to Marilyn and all of his family.

Our best wished to Marilyn and the family. I was lucky enough to reconnect with Bob a few years ago. As a youth in the 50's Bob was a cousin I looked up to and admired. I will miss his input from emails. Semper Fi cousin, Rest In Peace.

This is a terrible shock to many of us and we loved meeting Bob and Marilyn at our class reunions every year. He was our class President and kept us informed of the happenings of classmates scattered everywhere. My deepest sympathy to Marilyn and the other family members. He will be missed by all of us and we are fortunate to have known him.
He was one of a kind and irreplaceable.

Bob is in Heaven today. Bob was an outstanding youth and a leader among his classmates.while we were growing up. What a joy it was to re-connect with him after many years in which we did not see or hear from each other. He and I shared our faith, one with the other. It was strong and sure. I praise God for Bob and look forward to seeing him when the Lord calls me home.

We are so sorry to hear of Bob's sudden passing. He was such a good friend and a Patriot and he had that Air Commando spirit early on when he checked out in our new MC-130 aircraft at Pope AFB and then served in the 7 SOS at Ramstein and later as 7575 Special Ops Group Commander at Rhein main AB. Bob will be missed by.many.

I always looked forward to seeing Uncle Bob. He always made an effort to make the long trip to Texas when there was an important family event. I know he loved spending time with our family and seeing all the kids and grandkids. He lived a pretty remarkable life and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with Marylin, Lizz, Michelle and family.
